I'll make do with a tent!

[Lysandros Evermore, Camp Half-Blood]

It's been a week since I arrived at Camp Half-Blood, and I gotta say, many things suck! Even if I was already reclaimed by my mother, I still had to stay in the Hermes Cabin, for reasons of 'Only the 12 Olympians have a Cabin'! Do you have any idea how ridiculous that is?

While some of those stupid Cabins are freacking empty (I am sure as hell looking at you, Hera, Artemis and Poseidon!), others are so full we can barely even fit inside (Is it that hard for you to fight for your children's rights, Hermes? They are suffering!).

So I decided to take matters into my own hands! And so, here we are, me and a bunch of dissatisfied campers from the Hermes Cabin, making a freacking revolution! Enough is enough!

"So, you are dissatisfied with your current living acomodations?" - Asked Chiron, as we confronted him. He did not seem particularly surprised, as if he had already expected such a day to come, I am not sure if I can become stronger than a primordial, but stronger than those 12 deadbeats, I sure as hell can! I can't wait to kick their divine arses all over the place...

"What do you think?" - Asked an older camper that had never been reclaimed, probably the son of some minor deity, and his retorical question made horsey sigh in defeat.

"But I don't think the Olympians would allow you to build some new Cabins..." - Chiron seemed troubled, I don't think he quite agreed with the current situation either, but he thought there was nothing he could do.

That is until I asked him something. - "So... is it fine if we don't build a Cabin?" - He seemed to pause for a moment to reflect on my words, and eventually gave me a conflicted nod.

"Excelent!" - I then motioned towards the angry mob and said - "Follow me guys! I have an idea!"

I started making my way towards a place I had scouted previously, arriving, after a couple of minutes walk, in a flat terrain between the hill that would have been the place for Thalia's tree, the Amphiteatre and the Canoe Lake, with a wide open place. In the distance, it was possible to see the huge ring shaped crater that had been the monster camp, well, half-ring.

What? Do you really think they would have had enough numbers to encircle the entire camp? They were all concentrated in the main route towards the camp, with enough scouts patroling around to delay us in case we tried to go around them, so their main force could catch up, as monsters have better mobility in those irregular terrains.

Turning to look at those who followed me. I started talking.

"So... we can't build Cabins, right? Then, just build anything that you want, but a Cabin! So what are you gonna do? I'll make do with a tent!" - My words made those who were confused and looking lost, even more so, before seeing what I meant, and seemingly finding their way.

With the help of some campers from the Athena Cabin, that either sympathized with our cause, or just wanted to use the chance to design something, we started planning on how and what to do next. And just like that, surged many different ideas. I made myself a giant book, with the binder as the roof in a upside down V shape.

The children of Hecate, the goddess of magic, wanted a giant witch hat, a three stories building in the format of, well you guessed it, a witch hat.

The children of Janus, the god of choices, designed an underground labirinth as their dormitory, let's just hope Daedalus' Labyrinth doesn't get jealous.

Those from Tyche, goddess of luck, settled in a giant penny, after a brief, but very enthusiastic discussion on whether they should make a giant rabbit feet, a giant coin, or a giant lucky clover. For some reason, those who wanted the clover and the feet, compromised to the coin idea, as long as it was a penny. Now don't come and ask me why, as I am as clueless as you.

Children from Iris, goddess of rainbows, following the lead of Butch, decided on making a golden pot, with some sprinklers on top to make a rainbow during the day.

There was also the ones from Nike, the goddess of victory, who decided to create a giant trophy, that had to be taller than all the other building in the camp. I guess they really are a competitive bunch...

Nemesis' kids are giving those Athena's volunteers one hell of a headache, as they want their dorms to be an old balance, like their mother's divine symbol, at least they all seem to be having fun, so it should be okay... probably...

The kiddos from Hypnos just decided to make a giant pillow, that by itself is honestly among the easiest ones out of the bunch, but they have been very insistent on using a new kind of bed they had developed, and that thing is a little, like, a tiny bit, over the top, but considering how the pass most of the day sleeping, it might just have been justified, so we are giving it a try either way, and also using the chance to replace all old beds.

They unsurprisingly have even gained the heavy support of many other campers, who were previously uninterested by our actions, so I gotta give it to them.

And so, we called those somewhat weird (we like to think of them as creative) buildings tents. So as to not have lightning raining on our poor demigod asses, as those super powerful toddlers sees them as some sort of status symbol. So I've decided to just let them.

After learning about my situation, Thalia even teased me, saying she was lonely on the Zeus Cabin, and how good would it be if she had some company... she probably would find it funny if I were to be smitten by her, oh so reasonable father.

I really can't wait for when we both come of age... she will be in for some veeeeery long nights... where I will pay her back for all this teasing.

On a side note, we are currently in the middle of november, year 2000, I never bothered to ask how they celebrate the end of year festivities, as I don't really remember if it was ever mentioned in the books, as I only have perfect memory from my time in this world, with some things being a bit blurry about my past life.

I have also been feeling slightly different ever since my mother reclaimed me. From what I've seen, being reclaimed often give you some benefits, like an increase in strength, or even some new ability. On this, I have a feeling I've got a new ability, that I'm not yet sure what it does.

Even though everybody already knew that Thalia was Zeus' daughter, she had not yet been officially reclaimed, until the traditional capture the flag game, where she led one of the teams to a massive victory. That seems to have pleased Zeus, who decided to stop being a dead beat for a couple of seconds. And so, she can now control lightning with ease, and even affect the weather.

But I think she could still develop this into something better down the line. Talking about development, I have also made some pretty impressive progress since arriving at the camp.

With the all you can eat treatment in all meals, I eat, every passing day, a freacking ton of food, if not for my impressive methabolism I fear I would need a week to digest everything. All of it is a result of my constant training.

The current me should have almost 1/10 of the toughness from someone who bathed in the Styx River. My life force is really strong, giving me a lot of stamina. My spirit power also has increased greatly after I got reclaimed, guess I received some blessing of shorts from mother. With it, I can stay focused for longer, and even have better control over my body and mana.

My mana also received a huge boost from training with that syphoning rune. But I have been having this feeling lately that quantity on it's own won't cut it if I want to beat a primordial, so I should start looking into ways of improving the quality.

Author's notes:

Sup everyone, how are you all doing? Fine, I hope. I have an announcenments to make.

I will be slowing down on the number of releases I will be making on the novel, for many reasons, like, I want to take more care of the way things will develop, have more time to think about the plot and all of that. I will try to keep posting at least once every day, but there may be times that won't be possible either, with finals fast approaching and all of that. If I have the time, I will make an effort to post some extra chapters as well.

Also, your support is really important, with reviews, comments, power stones, and all of that, as they really motivate me to write a little bit more (I'm a tiny bit lazy, so when I see you guys parricipating I am like 'Oops, can't disappoint them!' Tehee!).

I guess that's all for now folks! See you later!

Peace out!
